Hi I am getting an Instant Pot for my birthday (not exciting but I'm pleased about it). What do you like to cook? What works? What was an unmitigated disaster?  |

Hang on,I will give you my favorite. Actually everything by this recipe creator that I've tried has been top notch, so go ahead and check out his site. pressureluckcooking.com/instant-pot-roast/ I wish I could give you my bookmark folder for Instant Pot recipes, I have a lot of good ones bookmarked. Do you have a way to convert American measurements into European ones? I use this site when making a Gordon Ramsay recipe. www.convertrecipe.com/convert_US_to_UK.php |

OMG - I just went & read the recepie & that looks soooo good! Hang on,I will give you my favorite.

It was you I was thinking of when I created this thread. I know in the past that you have said how good they are. I don't usually convert US to UK as 1 "cup" is around 8oz (don't get me started with metric). I'm more of a do-it-by-eye chef but I do have to admit the Gordon Ramsey stuff I did follow & it turned out amazing! Thanks Daphodil I will check out that one too! |

You will love your instant pot! It took me awhile to try it after I got it... I was convinced I'd blow up the kitchen. But it is super easy to use and I love it. One of my faves: Butter Chicken

Thanks Tulip. I didn't fall down a rabbit hole reading that & thinking about tomorrow's dinner! I have to wait til November to use it & my mother said it has to go to theirs at the weekend (they are currently away otherwise I would just have had it delivered to them) Paid £129 instead of £180/£200 due to Amazon flash thing.  Forgive the house stuff I am still working on it. |

Ok, opened the box finally after being ill on my birthday & not being able to go see my folks.
It is MASSIVE. Didn't expect it to be as big as that!
It beeps & that might get irritating.
Made leek & potato soup.
Used the saute function, pressure cook and then it did the "keep warm" by itself.
Surprisingly easy to use. Soup was great and I bought myself a Cuisinart cordless immersion blender that is super-fast.

I've been making brown rice every few days. I use broth instead of water and add whatever spices trip my trigger. Really good and super easy  |

That sounds good!
I need to portion & freeze the soup.
I bought some sausages for sausage casserole today.
I have tomato sausages and 3 different colour of bell pepper for it. I may even chuck some brown rice or lentals in there.
